At dawn I remember the Goddess whose radiance is bright as the rays of the autumn moon, adorned with makara earrings and necklaces of fine gems; She of a thousand deep-blue arms mighty with divine weapons, whose feet glow like red lotuses — You, O Supreme Ruler.
Verse 2
प्रातर्नमामि महिषासुरचण्डमुण्ड-

At dawn I bow to Durga, rich in fierce valour that crushed Mahishasura, Chanda, Munda, Shumbha and the other demons; the remover of the sufferings of worldly existence, destroyer of every affliction; I praise Her to whom gods and demons bow, who dwells upon the lotus.

māyāṃ parāṃ samadhigamya parasya viṣṇoḥ ||
At dawn I worship Her who grants the desires of those who adore Her, the sustainer of all the worlds, the destroyer of sins and evils; having realised the supreme Maya of the supreme Vishnu, the very cause of release from the bondage of worldly existence.
